A Handful of Sea

I talk to the sea.

I have missed her more than sky;

She never makes me feel small

And I have brought my lover to her shore.

We whisper about the sand on his skin

As we watch his patient treasure hunt

Where he digs along the water's edge

And sifts the sand from his fingers,

Dipping them into the sea

And holding them up to the sun.

He does this again and again,

Lost in his thoughts,

Lost in his world.



She doesn't ask if I am happy.

"You do not long for him to look up

And search for you in the waves."

I smile, thinking of the sand

He will have to shower away

Later, when this moment will be in my pocket

With the shards and shells he has gathered.

'No.'

He is bent to the ocean I love

And he is not the shape of a sigh

Or a sunset dream.



I cry to the sea.

I have missed her more than earth;

She has loved me so long,

And my lover waits for me

At her shore, whispering.

Tonight we will lie together

On sheets that smell like the ocean,

Lost in each other,

Lost to the world.
